The Iarnród Éireann 90000 Class is a type of electric multiple unit (EMU) which will be deployed on the DART network in Dublin, Ireland.

Background

edit

The class is currently being constructed by Alstom at their facility in Katowice, Poland[1] for the DART+ project, which will expand DART services to lines which are currently served by diesel multiple units (DMUs) such as the 29000 class and 22000 class.

Some units will be battery EMUs, to allow for operation on non-electrified lines. The first unit arrived in Ireland in October 2024 and is expected to enter service in 2026.[citation needed]
